The Piedmont High School baseball team will waste no time getting into a tough Bay Shore Athletic League game as the Highlanders will host St. Mary’s in a battle of two of the better teams in the league. Last season Piedmont handed St. Mary’s its only BSAL loss, winning 3-0 on April 27. In that game, Jordan Remer threw five scoreless innings, striking out six. He also had two doubles and scored two runs. Bryce Chu had an RBI double and picked up the save in this marquee win nearly a year ago.
